South Africa is likely to miss its target of inoculating as many as 1.5 million people against the coronavirus by the end of this month because sufficient shots aren't available, Deputy Health Minister Joe Phaahla said.
"We expect now only to complete 700 000 vaccines by the end of March," Phaahla said in an online briefing to lawmakers on Friday."We are expecting more Johnson & Johnson vaccines and some from Pfizer, but we will still be behind target. However, we hope to be back on track once production of the various vaccines ramps up."
The inoculation of health-care workers should be completed around mid-April, while others in high-risk categories are due to begin receiving shots in May, Anban Pillay, a deputy director-general in the health department said in a separate online briefing. Vaccines will be dispensed through mobile units, pharmacies and workplaces as dispensing steps up, he said.
*because sufficient shots weren’t procured..* there fixed it for you, reads much better now! The government failed its people again. Looting, corruption & incompetent administration has created this situation.

And now the study is guilty of slowing us down: 'The pace at what we are vaccinating now is at the pace of what can be allowed in terms of the study,' Pillay said. 'Once we get out of the study we can open up many more sites and things can move much faster.'
There was no shortage of vaccines - you sent away 1.5 million shots. An act which will cost the lives of people, normally called a crime! And there is the matter: guilty by association for those in advisory not speaking out.
SAA can risk hedge fuel prices. Eskom can risk hedge currency fluctuation. Why couldn’t HealthZA risk hedge vaccine candidates?
WeekendArgus The manifestation of a bewildering approach to vaccine procurement. Tragically underwhelming.
Surprise!
I could have told you that long ago stupid. You have 56 million citizens you have 80 000 vacines how the hell were you going to vainate one and a half million people by end of this year.
